The following represents the final chapter in our Betsoft focused triple play. So after the rave reviews we have given to the previous offerings Rock Star and The True Sheriff, will Three Wishes prove to be the best of the lot?
The Game
Predictably, Three Wishes plays out on the same five reel 30 payline platform as the aforementioned releases, though in this instance there is less by way of an elaborate lead into game play and there are differences the game boasts by way of substance. Three Wishes packs more of a punch than its siblings because it allows you to play up to 10 coins on each line. With coin denominations as high as $1, that means you can bet up to $300 per spin, which makes it easily the heaviest hitter of the bunch. Three Wishes also reads from both left and right thereby doubling win possibilities. There are eight different standard symbols you can attempt to match on the reels, ranging from the snake charmer’s pot at the lowest to a captured Arabian princess at the top of the scale. The princess can earn you up to 200 credits per coin wagered – a prize of up to $2,000 if you’re playing for the maximum possible bet.
Bonus Features
Three wishes predictably focuses around The Genie and the Lamp as well as magic carpet rides. The primary interest centers around the special features and the bonus games. The Magic Carpet icon is your wild, which will substitute not only for the feature icons, but by landing the Magic Carpet in any position on reel 1 will trigger the Magic Carpet Feature. At this point the 3D element will show its face through animation as the carpet flies to the right of the game screen, squashing icons in its way and turning them into bonus credit.
The Monkey symbol will reap you rewards if you can land it on the middle reel. In this instance, the adjacent 4 symbols will appear with click me on them. Make your choice of symbol to hit and you will be rewarded by a prize of varying amounts. Continue the process until you see the collect icon.
Land three or more treasure chests anywhere on a spin and you will trigger the games free spins mode. The more treasure you see on screen, the more free spins you receive, ranging from five free spins for three chests to a massive 20 free spins if you should hit five. This bonus can also be re-triggered, note however that most other bonus features are inactive during the bonus spins.
Saving the best for last, the final bonus game to describe is the Second Screen Genie Bonus Round. By landing three or more lamps on any active payline, you will be transported to a different game screen. Click on the lamp to release the genie, and he’ll ask you to choose from six different possible wishes, each of which hides a cash reward of varying amounts but in most cases one well worth having.
Summary
In common with the Rock Star and True Sheriff, Three Wishes delivers in many ways. The lack of a progressive jackpot probably ensures that it won’t make any headlines for its win levels but in keeping with the other games, the regularly occurring rewards will keep most players interested. Particularly in this game there are sufficient bonus games and free spin opportunities to appeal to those looking for a varied gaming experience. There are less gimmicks, perhaps, but this is compensated for by greater gaming options. For some the slot may be all the better for that.
